The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an estimate of daily train movements (i.e., train counts) for all Metrolink, Pacific Surfliner, Amtrak, and High-Speed Rail (HSR) trains that are planned to pass through LAUS for 2016 and future horizon years anticipated to be considered in the Link US environmental documentation (20261, 2031, and 2040). Improvements to the Gold Line and/or Regional Connector are not considered in this memorandum. Although both Gold Line and the Regional Connector light rail trains will use LAUS, all operational aspects and train movements through LAUS are addressed through separate Metro documentation2. The information contained within this memorandum was prepared solely to provide a conservative estimate of the number of trains planned to pass through LAUS to facilitate evaluation of potential localized traffic, air quality and noise and vibration impacts that may result from project-related capacity enhancements proposed at LAUS and in the surrounding area in the Link US environmental documentation. The environmental impacts resulting from increased train activity at LAUS is addressed in the Link US Draft Environmental Impact Report (HDR 2019). The information contained within this memorandum represents an estimate of future train movements through LAUS to provide a basis for the environmental evaluation only, and is not intended in any way to indicate future rail operational scenarios or stakeholder consensus on future service levels for shared train operations at LAUS. The findings from ongoing operational analyses, if significantly different from the estimated service levels described in this memorandum, could be incorporated into the environmental documentation at a later date at the discretion of the lead agencies. 1.1 Project Background and Concurrent Operational Analysis 1.1.1 Project Background In parallel with project implementation, the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) is currently developing the Southern California Optimized Rail Expansion (SCORE) Program, a $10 billion plan that identifies the need for substantial investments in rail infrastructure in the Southern California region to upgrade the Metrolink system and meet the current and future needs of the traveling public. The project is 1 The 2026 horizon year was added to reflect Metrolink’s growth plans under Phase 1 of the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program; although the ability of LAUS to accommodate increased off-peak services during construction has not been tested. 2 Regional Connector Transit Corridor, Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report, Metro 2012 1-)~ ©Metro 1 Link Union Station January 2019 Rail Planning Technical Memorandum a critical component of the SCORE Program, providing capacity enhancements to fulfill the program objectives. Localized environmental impacts resulting from project-related infrastructure improvements and forecasted increases in train movements at LAUS will be evaluated in the Link US environmental documentation. The Link US project operational scenarios for 2026, 2031, and 2040 are influenced by statewide and regional plans for service increases and other required off-site infrastructure (i.e., SCORE program). The operational scenarios represent a conservative estimate of the forecasted increases in regional/intercity rail trips and new HSR train trips that could occur at LAUS. Infrastructure improvements outside of the project study area that are required to implement system-wide efficiencies and changes in regional/intercity operations from implementation of the SCORE Program are not part of the project, and are the responsibility of Southern California Regional Rail Authority and other agency partners. Furthermore, the operational aspects of the planned HSR system and the associated environmental impacts are not evaluated in the Link US environmental documentation because operation of the planned HSR system and the associated impacts are addressed separately in the environmental documentation being prepared by the FRA and California High-Speed Rail Authority for the Burbank to Los Angeles and Los Angeles to Anaheim Project Sections. 1.1.2 Concurrent Operational Analysis Although general operational planning information and background data

  • Host Railroad Report Card &
    Host Railroad Report Card & FAQ 1) What is a “host railroad”? Most of Amtrak’s network is on tracks owned, maintained, and dispatched by highly-profitable freight railroads, known as “host” railroads where Amtrak uses their tracks. Most of the trains on these rail lines are the freight railroads’ own freight trains. Because the freight railroads make all dispatching decisions about which trains have priority in using the rail line, the freight railroads have a tremendous amount of influence over Amtrak’s operations on their lines. Prior to Amtrak’s creation in 1971, the privately-owned railroads had a common carrier obligation to operate passenger trains themselves – an obligation that dated back to when the railroads were built in the 1800s. Because the railroads were losing money on their passenger trains, Congress created Amtrak and relieved the private railroads of their obligation to operate passenger trains. A very important part of the deal was that Amtrak would still have access to the railroads’ lines in order to operate passenger trains. Every year Amtrak pays host railroads $142 million for using their tracks and other resources needed to operate Amtrak trains. 2) What distinguishes hosts with good Amtrak performance? Hosts typically achieve good Amtrak performance through a combination of: a) Commitment to providing quality service for Amtrak’s passengers, b) An active partnership with Amtrak, where both sides work cooperatively and the hosts respect Federal law which protects the rights of our nation’s passengers, and c) A well-disciplined operation that benefits both Amtrak and freight customers alike. 3) What does “Delays per 10,000 train miles” mean? It is a measure of how much delay each host railroad causes to Amtrak trains.
